Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 668

The waiter nodded right away. “Of course, Ms. Norwood.”

Everyone in the room lit up with excitement.

“Lucinda, you’re incredible! You’re really not letting them pay?”

“Seriously, Lucinda, you’re just paying for everything? That’s so generous!”

Lucinda just smiled. “It’s supposed to be my treat today. How could I let someone else do it? You all go ahead and have fun. I’ll be right back.”

Her classmates nodded, practically pushing her to go.

As she walked toward the private room next door, Lucinda wondered if this was some rich guy trying to impress her. If that was the case, there was no way she was accepting. Not a chance.

With her head held high, Lucinda pushed open the door. But the moment she saw who was inside, she froze.

Lydia was waiting for her. As Lucinda stepped in, Lydia just stared, her expression half-smile, half-mystery.

Lucinda’s mind went blank. Everything inside her just stopped. The proud look on her face slipped away.

“Hi… Lydia… Connor…”

Connor’s voice was cold. “Lucinda, it’s probably more appropriate if you call me Mr. Jefferson.”

Lucinda’s face went pale. She never thought she’d run into Lydia here, of all places. What rotten luck.

Juna looked at her with a mocking smile. “Wow, you really know how to make an entrance. Treating everyone on the first day? That must be costing you a fortune.”

Lucinda’s hands curled into fists at her side. A flash of anger crossed her eyes. It had to be Juna! She must have tipped Lydia off. How would Lydia, who was all the way over at Capital Med School, know about this lunch?
